is it living in Texas? Is it misplaced rage from your youth? There isn't a day that goes by that you aren't contemplating getting medeival on someone or something. You need to sort this out before you go up a clocktower.

I imagine pulling away, out of my body, and floating up away from the earth. I see my surroundings fall away, and the activity around me dies down as I float higher and higher. I see the city disappear as I float out above the atmosphere. I see the earth recede, a small blue-green marble, getting smaller and smaller. I pass though the asteroid belt, and often imagine passing by one of the gas giants in the solar system on the way out. I imagine travelling faster and faster, and start passing by stars, seeing them recede as i pass out of the galaxy.

Cried on and off last night, woke up with a mondo headache. I realized at about 8:00 last night, that my main issue wasn't sadness (my usual empathetic response to innocents dying), no I was MAD. FURIOUS at all the repukes who not only allowed this war, but are behind it 110%. I see these *holes driving around in their SUV's with their Murikan flags and I want to puke. Literally. It's like they're living in a fantasy world, where other people's deaths and maiming and starvation and desolation don't exist.I'm a basically happy liberal and realist. Repressed anger just was NOT part of my psycological make-up. I am in sales, and I'm finding it hard to get out and smile and be positive (a requirement, when you're selling something people can really live without).I know that repressed anger afflicts men more than women. Any suggestions on how to deal?

count to 10, take a walk, get a cup of coffee, go somewhere private and let out a primal scream.

just keep repeating this quote from Pulp Fiction:

Jules: Oh, you ready to blow? Well I'm a mushroom-cloud-laying motherfucker, motherfucker. Every time my fingers touch brain I'm Superfly TNT, I'm the Guns of the Navarone. IN FACT, what the fuck am I doing in the back? You the motherfucker should be on brain detail.

I know what it's like to have lived with someone who snaps at everything because of their personal inner demon-type issues. It eats away at your soul until it's hard to find anything left to love about them. Then, they realize this and have to, once and for all, begin to face painful consequences for their behavior. I'm not saying you do this or act this way, but be careful as a husband and father.

Talk to a professional, meditate, or something before something happens you might regret. You're a very smart guy and sometimes I think it's harder being an intelligent person because one thinks they can talk themselves out of their feelings, but sometimes it takes more active steps to deal with them.

KCDem do a little more of her "wifely duty" and that might just reduce a lot of stress for both of you!

Did you know that sex, in addition to being a natural sleep aid and anti-depressant, also aids your immune system and increases the amount of disease-fighting antibodies in your system? And that men who have sex regularly have a lower incidence of prostate cancer? (How's that for a guilt trip the next time the little lady doesn't feel like doing the hokey-pokey, fellas, just ask her if she wants you to get prostate cancer or be sick!)
